Common names for these species???

[Spoon]

Elachista regificella
Lampropteryx ortregiata
Pshychoides filicivora

Does anyone know the common names for the above species?? They are all lepidoptera's I believe.

thanks in advance

None of them have common names as far as I know, micro moths usually dont. Leaf miners are often called after their host plant. For example Elachista regificella feeds on species of wood-rush so the wood rush leaf miner would seem logical. But there are three other species that feed on this plant in the UK hence why common names are not often used.

common names can only realy be used on very unique species or as a general name covering a whole genus. if they are micro moths, just use that as the common name

cheers. I thought that perhaps they didn't have common names, thanks for clarifying

[Spoon]

oh, does anyone know if any of these species are particularly rare??
